47-55.1 47-54 1/2 ton leaf spring kit in a 3/4 ton

[51 3600]

Like you, on my 3600 I wanted to keep the rear suspension simple with leaf springs but not endure the stiff stock springs. The main problem to solve was to find springs of the right length that when mounted for proper axle location, were not too long to interfere with the running board brackets. Most modern springs were too long. I ended up with Jeep Wrangler springs which are very close to stock spring length so mount in just about the same location as stock. But since the Jeep springs were 2.5" wide I had to make new spring hangers/mounts. Jeep springs should be adequate for my purposes but if too soft I can add a leaf. Truck is not on the road yet so I can't give you an actual ride report.
